[Q] S5660 bricked with flashing SAMSUNG page

My Gio is bricked now.
After I pressed power on button, it stucks on the first screen with SAMSUNG logo and flash on and off once a second.
I can get into the download mode but it still stucks after flashing any official rom.
I can't get into recovery mode also.
What can I do now to revive my gio?
Thanks!
William

I don't think that it is bricked

Thank you for your kindly reply.
I also hope so.
But what's the solution steps?
I flashed many rom by odin but no use.

I had a similar bootloop issue. I flashed with odin 2 times, still same. Then I got into recovery and wiped data, cache and Dalvik cache and it worked. However, I still have no idea why this phone won't boot into CM10 (stuck at boot logo)...
What happens when you try to get into recovery? Have you tried to press and hold menu first then press and hold power?

Our problems are different.
You can get into recovery while I can't.
I exactly know how to enter the recovery mode, but when I hold the menu and power button, it just lighted on and then off as if the program crashed and restarted.
Then the screen is on and off over and over.
Anyone can help me?
Or suggest some post to let me learn and try?
Thanks

have you hard rested the phone? link to how to do it ---> http://factory-reset.com/wiki/Galaxy_Gio
is your phone rooted? then try install a custom rom like cm7.2 by Odin.

My phone can only enter download mode.
It can't boot normally so it's rooted or not is not important.
And it also can't enter recovery.
I have read the link you give me.
The second step is: Press down the Volume key and the Power button.
But I don't know which volume key it means.
Volume Up or Volume Down?
Anyway, I tried Volume down, Volume up and Volume down+up.
All of them have no effect.

take out the battery and wait a few minutes... after that put the battery in your phone and try it again... maybe it works
Sorry for my bad englisch

I used this method many times.
It's no use.

VOLUME DOWN + HOME + POWER then release POWER this should do the job entering the mode.
You can also try by connecting the phone to pc and in Kies go to Tools-> emergency firmware recovery
If your phone is NOT rooted and the warranty is still able then you have the option deliver it to the shop for repair.
If it IS rooted then you can try installing other custom roms by Odin, you'll find plenty of them in development section.

1. Volume down+home+power, it will enter download mode. After it entered download mode, I release power with holding the volume down+home, nothing happened, the screen still show "downloading". Are my steps above right?
2. In Kies->Tools->emergency firmware recovery, there is a list of devices, but it's blank, nothing to select. And there is a button to popup a dialog. In that dialog, it let me input a recovery code, but I don't the meaning of it and don't know what to input.
3. In Kies->Tools->firmware upgrade and initialization, after I input the device model and serial number, it told me the last version I have initialized on my device and let me put the phone into download mode. I put the phone into download mode and press the button to let kies process. But it popup a dialog with all koreans. I cut the screen and email to someone who knows korean and he told me the meaning is "Can not upgrade because the binary files are unregisted. please confirm the registration of the binary files". But I don't understand what the BINARY FILE and REGISTRATION mean.
4. I've rooted the phone and also it's out of the warranty duration. If I use odin to flash stck roms or custom roms, it finishes well but nothing happened to my phone. It still can't boot normally or enter recovery.

can you enter cwm?
can you see dialing pad??
if so do this: Enter *2767*3855#

I can only enter download mode.
I can't enter recovery mode nor the cwm.
I can't boot it normally so can't see the dialing pad.

Try to flash multifile rom in odin.

Go to www.sammobile.com and download a stock rom for Samsung Gio and flash it with odin.

Yes, I've flashed stock roms many times.
I have tried one package roms and multifile roms, but all of them have no use.
After each flash, I try to boot my phone or enter recovery but all failed.

What exactly happened to your phone that you can't do anything with it?
Try to install CWM again

Could you please give me some other link to download cwm?
Thanks

CWM 5.0.2.7
flash it with odin, then reboot your phone and see if you can see the cwm interface, then insert a custom/stock rom on sd card and flash it through cwm.

I am very sorry that it's the same link as that in the thread.
I can't download anything from mediafire and some other download site out of China.
But I found I can download from xda-developers.
Could you please upload to this xda site?

[Q] How to manually flash a new recovery?

I've been searching the Tmo Note 2 forums for an hour and can't find instructions to manually flash a new recovery image. Running stock ROM, already rooted it, I just need instructions for putting in a new recovery. Alternatively, if someone can tell me how to get the phone into fastboot mode, I know how to flash it from there.
(This isn't my phone, I'm just rooting it and putting in a recovery image.)

Odin mode should allow you to flash cwm or twrp manually (phone off then hold volume up plus home hey plus power) not sure if its volume up or down but you know its the right one if when booted it asks you to hit volume up to continue...
Simple way would be to just install Goo Manager from play store (its free but please donate to devs) and then when app is opened, simply press menu and then install open source

If you can find a custom recovery image, you can do this in a terminal window:
Code:
su
flash_image recovery /sdcard/name-of-recovery.img
But why don't you just install goo manager or ROM manager from Play store? They let you install custom recoveries (TWRP or CWM) in no time.
Or use the all-in-one kit in the dev forum?
P.S. There isn't fastboot mode in Samsung phones like you see in HTC devices. The closest thing in Samsung is to use ODIN and the download mode. I don't think you want to bother with it for someone else's phone, though.

Thanks fellas, it wasn't at all clear how to do it through Goo Manager. (Seriously, "Install OpenRecoveryScript"? Why not "Install Recovery Image"?)
I hope they like TWRP, cuz that's what's on it now. (I'm a CWM fan myself, but w/e.)

Twrp is actually updated more often and its open source, although it is hard to turn CWM when its been so reliable in the past

As long as you have root access:
1. You need ADB and fastboot installed on your PC, make sure USB debugging on phone is enabled and connect phone via usb.
2. Put the recovery in the same directory as the above two utilities.
3. Shift+Right click in the folder containing the 3 items in step 1+2 and select "open command window".
4. cmd window should open enter "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img"

Hi,
Make sure you have the right recovery on your phone.
Please note, this forum is for T-mobile Note phones and you have better chances of getting a response in qmobile nor air2 forums.

Any ideas where i can get one?

You might ask in the thread I've linked. They will know FAR more about your device than we will as the vast majority of us have never heard of a qmobile noir a50 before. I just Googled it a moment ago.

have u tried flashing philz recovery from odin there is an option to untick "autoreboot" in odin. Once flash is done, keep pressing power button until it reboots (normally will go to recovery)
when in recovery, if you choose option "reboot system now" and you get "yes - disable flash recovery", select that option to avoid stock recovery overwriting cwm

some people may can go into cwm by pressing volume up + power + home simultaneously. .. i already fix it.. during we push volume up + power + home, once at the logo of samsung, realease only the power button and keep pushing the volume up + home. It works at my note 2 to go into cwm.

Hi Guys, My phone is made in Vietnam. The language I see in download mode is Vietnamese. The baseband version is N7100ZHDMB1.
It says it is rooted, I have super user and titanium backup running but whenever I try to reboot to CWM the screen flashes gibberish and then goes to the Samsung Note II logo.
Should I still try this method?
The phone works fine but I want to run another ROM.

had the same issue. downloaded latest philz touch & flash by odin. rebooted & all is good. Now will root using Dr Ketan Multi Tool

Please have patience with this noob. When I look through titanium backup all the firmware programs have N7105HDMB1 while the "About Device" menu in settings say N7100HDMB1.
Which one of the Philz downloads should I use, N7100 or N7105?

Solved!
I used the Philz for N7100 and I am cooking with gas!!!!

T805 bad flash in Odin and no recovery with button combo

Hi everyone, some help is needed. Mistakenly when rooting my stock T805 with CF autoroot, tired and sleepy, I flashed it in Odin in BL (bootloader) and not in AP box as I should. Soft bricked it, couldn't go back to stock, somehow managed to install recovery, from there to some AOSP rom and finally to Xtrolite (which is great) .Anyhow, all is working now, EXCEPT, i still cannot flash stock rom in Odin, seems i destroyed bootloader but then again, I flashed stock bootloader-only file, i got recovery, any rom etc. Help is needed what to do??
Also, is this normal that VOL UP+ POWER+ HOME wont enter recovery?? I remember this when i bought it, with knox 0x0 and now also, with TWRP, i have to use an app to reboot to recovery?! weird...
Cheers!

If you had trashed the bootloader you wouldn't even have a bootable device, it would be bricked.
Not getting into recovery is purely pilot error.
You need to give more details regarding flashing the stock rom, screen shots etc.

Part of the problem was that i couldn't enter recovery with button combo but needed to have working rom with special app or 4 way reboot mod. When flashing stock rom (either 4.4.2 or 5.0) at the end of the proccess it says: FAIL (red).

You need to post a screen shot of the flash process in Odin.
I'll reiterate, regarding entering recovery mode is 99% of times user error.
From power off hold POWER + HOME + VOL UP until recovery boots.

Tnx. Finally managed to find some time and clear this one out. It was LP bootloader issue, appareantly you can go back only to some 4.4.2 bootloaders/roms and some not.
